crappy health care is still better than no health care, which is about all that 1 in 5 people in the US is able to afford.

If they can't afford it now, then how are they going to be able to absorb the 40% tax hike it would take to get it? Or are the "wealthy" supposed to cover the bill for all that as well? We're fast approaching a point when it makes no point to succeed. Why bother if when you're poor, the government gives you everything and when you're rich the government takes everything? I'm one of those rare people that believes the rich are rich for a reason. They worked to get there. Keep in mind that I live in a city where 50% of working age males are unemployed. Amazingly, they all seem bo be getting health carewithout much trouble.
